The Power of Breath

As we head into election season in the States and holiday season around the globe, it's easy for stress levels to rise.
Every holiday season invites beautiful joys and moments of magic, but it also brings a fuller schedule that can trigger patterns of perfectionism, disappointment, unspoken expectations, and exhaustion. Layer in the fear and uncertainty of what's to come with the election, and we have the perfect setup for dis-ease, anxiety, and overwhelm.
There are many ways to take care of yourself during this season. One of the best is by consciously preparing ahead of time. What practices can you implement starting now to build your connection with yourself and take care of your well-being in the months to come?
I have a simple yet powerful suggestion for you today. The best part? It's easy, accessible, and available to you in every moment. I'm talking about breath.
Breath is often underrated and undervalued. Our minds tend to judge its simplicity—after all, we've been conditioned to believe that everything worth doing requires hard work. But breath doesn't necessarily ask for effort (though it can). It requires willingness, presence, and the ability to let go.
Ancient breath practices have been around for centuries, supporting humans in relaxing into the present moment, connecting with our true nature, and regulating our nervous systems. And now, scientific research shows that breath can improve sleep, increase immunity and energy (who couldn't use that this season?), relieve brain fog, and so much more.
With everything happening, it feels like the world could use a big exhale right now—which is exactly why I created…
